PHOENIX — Phoenix Suns fans are growing concerned about the organization after news broke of minority owners filing a lawsuit against it.
According to ESPN’s Baxter Holmes, attorneys for Kisco WC Sports II and Kent Circle Investments filed the lawsuit on Aug. 21 and it was recently made available on Wednesday.
“Our clients sued to obtain records to which they are entitled as minority owners of the Suns,” representatives Michael Carlinsky and Michael Barlow of Quinn Emanuel wrote, according to Holmes. “They are concerned by the manager’s approach towards minority owners… Transparency with minority owners is not optional, and our clients think it is critical to the success of the Suns.”
The lawsuit is the sixth filed against Phoenix since November 2024 and fans are wondering how the organization has found itself in another legal battle.
